MEV.SLEW CHIEF TECUMSEH. '.-I. ttleh-xd M. Johnson X Kentoeky tha Hero of the Flg-hU ; I . While nearly everyone bs heard of the famous Indian leadef Tecum sell, tKere are many -who) are not aware of the f aot that his death was due ,to the bravery of a inanwho afterward became the vice president of the United States, ftiphard M. Johnson was ar native of ifchef Blue Grass State and the fact may account for his fondness for a fight, fe was born in 1781, while Washington was still alive andf hen the American states had scarcely passed irat of their swaddling clothes into the dress of full Hedged and independent sovereignties. The white rpan ruled only in the east, and out on the vast prairies of the west roamed the In dians, and the settlers on the out skirts of civilization never knew at what inoinent they, might jbo afc tacked and destroyed. : j Suoh continued . to be the state of affairs for some years, and when Johnson was in . congress in 1812, and the English and . Indians had combined to attack' the 'newjrepub' Iio, Johnson wont home to Kentucky and raised a battalion of thre com panies, and after they had been ooni solidated into a regiment jwas made the colonel and served 1; for ten months.- Ho returned for a short space to. his- congressional duties, but at the command of the secretary of war soon raised a Tegimont of a thousand volunteers and went to at tack the enemy in the west; 'joining his force to that of General William Henry Harrison, who wasi then gov ernor of Indiana nd thej leader of , the American troops. It was then, ; on Oct. 5, 1813, occurred the famous battle of the Thames, j . , I The English f oroes were posted between the river and the marsh,' while the Indians were, pn a high ground in the swampy labdj. Colo nel Johnson ordered , his men for ward, and the English lei them get almost within a few yards before the command ; to fire was given. Then the bullets laid the front rank low. A desperate battle took place, hut the confliot lasted on y about IS minutes, the Americans, being vic torious.' Tecumsoh was found on the field dead, and ; it wsis asserted that Johnson was the one who shot him, as he was killed by a man on horseback, and ' Jqhnson was the only one mounted, his coinmand be ing infantry. It was aiso known 'that Johnson had been engaged in a hand to hand fight with one of the most desperate of the chiefs, and it was thought that Tecuihseh would be v the very one to single out the leader to meet his tomahawk, a foe worthy ot his steel. Johnson him self was badly wounded. I Although, the death of! ecumseh at the hands of Johnson has been a muoh disputed point, hojhas always been given the credit, and in eleo tions it was something which large ly added to his popularity! nothing strange in an age when! tne states men were required to fight on the frontier of a new world. j . I 7 When Johnson returned to coni gress, he was still too sick to walk, and his way up the street .was a tri umphal ' procession, while a joint resolution of thanks was passed by the body. . Afterward he Came to the senate, and then he was chosen a vice president on the ticket head ed by Martin Van Buren. j .No elec tion was made, by the electoral col lege. ; Thus J failing in an eleotion by this means, Johnson was j chosen by the senate to that high position.

That . is true, but our ancestors de sired to preserve for us tke knowl edge of the location of those mines. So they adopted the plan of lighting ' fires every year when the first full moon of August" comes arouhd. This has been done for 200 years. The anniversary fires are built on the ex act locations of the old gold mines. Every fire which you see burning is over what was onco a gold mine.. You are the only - white man to whom this has been revealed.' "Colonel Craig, told me that he noted in his mind as carefully as he could the location of one of these fires and then went back to Taos. Some time afterward he set out on a prospecting tour in the direction where he had seen the signal fire. He discovered what he believed was the place, til though most of the ashes had been blown away. On that spot Craig opened a prospect hole He sold the anine for $15,000." St I Louis Globe-Democrat.

How many years ago ; geologists do not know, and natural historians are puzzled at the forms of life, so different are they from any to be found elsewhere." ! Mr. Holland then proceeded to un fold a remarkably story. Running across the state filom north tp south, lie said, is. an immense ledge or sheet of rock formed of oyster shells. ! ' "This ledge averages about 20 feet in thickness and is used for building purposes in some places, while in others it is ground up and placed upon j the ground as a ! fertilizer. There is a large quarry near Hen rietta, in the northern part of the state, and a number of handsome blocks have been constructed from it. When first taken out i of the earth, it is white and soft, but when exposed to tho air it becomes hard and turns to a beautiful buff color.

Iy father had no end of anecdotes about our ancestors, parts of which I remember, though I was only a schoolroom child of under 14 when I beard : him relating them. I was, however, old enough to .feel keenly interested in them. One story that impressed me very muoh was related to account for the origin of the Clan Macintyre. A party of Macdonells on one occasion were out in. a boat when a knot of wood sprang out, causing a serious leak, whereupon one of the party stuck in his finger to fill the hole and then cut it off with his dirk, thus saving the life of the whole party. From this circum stance his desgeqdants vfero called the Macintyres, or sons of .the car penter. ' j . Another story, which I heard my father tell i elates to the bloody hand Which appears iij our coat of arms. A doubt having arisen . as to which of two brothers a certain estate be longed, it was agreed that he whose flesh and blood should first touch the property was to be regarded, as the rightful owner. Accordingly the two young men started in two boats for the land in question.

Ttaay Uaanflaetara tha Finest Implements of Their Trade..,,.. ,.-".. .. When Dutch Gus, one of the most expert and dangerous bank burglars, was captured a few years, ago, the most complete set jof burglars tools ever made -was found in hisvposses sion and it now lends added interest to the collection of burglars' imple ments on exhibition at police head quarters. - j . . : . ; ' 1 -Dutch Gus said i he made his tools himself and could rival any tool- maker In the oountryj In following up -the suggestion 1 given by him when he was put through the third degree, .made 'famous by former Chief of Police Byrnes, the police I learned -that all jthe craoksmen of -xhe- higher class kdepend entirely upon themselves jfor tools they re quire in cracaiing safes. I Hie police were," for many years at jx -loss to learn where burglars se cured the tools so necessary to their trade. Although complete seta of tools were repeatedly captured when a noted safe worker was arrested the next arrest would be followed by the discovery of an equally valuable set of tools. It 'was not long before Steve . O'Brien, Phil Reilly, Jaie Von Gerichten" and Charles Heidel berg discovered,! quite by aocident, a small cellar shop ' in Bleecker street, wherein an old German tool maker ground out the finest imple ments of the burglars' stock in trade. Down in a basement near the cor ner of Mott " street, and within l a stone's throw of police headquarters, ' this German toolmaker conducted a small and apparently unprofitable business.' Finally the headquarters detectives, whose duties took them down around headquarters at night, noticed that the old German had many customers after the tenement house dwellers had forsaken, the sidewalks and sought their hardand uncomfortable douches for the night. The detectives made a quiet inves tigation and rejported their discov eries to former Chief of Police Byrnes, who was then making the record for the detective bureau of the New York police force which has made it famous the world over. Byrnes was not slow to realjze what was going on, and although the law gave; the chief of the detective bureau no right to interfere with 'the old man's business moral' sua sion was used and the trade pursued by the German1 toolmaker was bro-1 ken up and nobody has since tried to 1 build up a business in that particu lar line. j :; j . . - ;" ,' 1' ' George McCluskey said, when I asked him where the burglars of the higher class secured' their tools, a few days ago : j "Tho burglars make their tools now, although formerly -they were made by various toolmak ers about the eityj .The tools in Use today aro far different from'' those which were used to crack a safe; 20 years ago. Then it would almost take a truck to carry the assortment of tooli, but now; the bank burglar can stow away in a corner of his pocEet tools enough to crack any safe in the country. : j j "Of course when they-require some tool of intricate design, they go to a toolmaker, but the general Tun of tools they are thoroughly ca pable of making themselves. Most of the (fine work on safes now. is done with the diamond drill and dynamite. Aj holo is drilled in the safe door, just above the combina tion lock, a charge of dynamite is inserted and jthen the combination is blown apart and the door opens. The diamond jdrill and dynamite can be carried in:a man's pocket Safe burglaries and vault robberies have been few and far between of late years, as most of the really clever workers are in state prison, where they are out of the way of tion.
